Using Anonymous Recruitment
This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Our system keeps your personal information hidden until the recruiter contacts you.
Our Trustees are a team of volunteers who use their diverse skills, experience, and perspectives to set the strategic direction of the charity and make sure it’s doing what it was set up to do in the best possible way.
For families facing tough times, a holiday is a much-needed break from the day to day, as well as giving space and time to breathe, think differently. A holiday is essential for building wellbeing and hope for the future, especially when the present is challenging.
About you
You'll have the energy, integrity, passion, and skills to work with the Board of Trustees, our CEO and staff team, and our community, to drive forward a successful and dynamic future for our charity and the families we support.
We’re particularly looking to add the following professional skills and experiences to our team.
- Developing digital products, tools and/or services.
- Directly supporting children and/or families on an ongoing professional basis.
- Fundraising in a charity through voluntary donations or commercial income.
You don’t need to have been a Trustee before, but you do need to be willing to do some training to help you understand the role and the responsibilities that come with it.
We actively encourage applications from under-represented, marginalised and racialised groups, and those with lived experience of any of the barriers families face to having time away together. That’s things like mental or physical ill health, disability, domestic abuse, being a young carer or living on a low income.
We will make adjustments to our schedule and processes to ensure new trustees can be included and supported in the role.
More diverse perspectives on our Board help us make better decisions for families.
What we offer you
The biggest thing we have to offer is the chance to put your skills and experience to good use making the lives of families who are having a tough time better.
You’ll join a team who really care about making a difference and approach it with real openness and drive. Right off the bat we’ll connect you with the other Trustees and staff so you can get to know everyone, and we’ll buddy you up with another Trustee, so you’ve got someone to help you navigate it all as you settle in.
Expenses
You won’t get paid for your time, but we’ll make sure you aren’t out of pocket by covering the cost of your travel to meetings, childcare or other care if you need it, and a range of other expenses you might have while doing the role. We’ll book and/or pay for these in advance if you prefer.
How to apply
When you click 'Quick Apply' you'll find a link to upload your CV and answer a couple of screening questions.
We will make adjustments to the recruitment process wherever possible to ensure that no applicant is disadvantaged for any reason.
- Monday 20th May - Applications close at 9am
- w/c 3rd June and w/c 10th June - First interviews with a panel of current trustees
- w/c 17th June - Second interviews with Jackie our Vice Chair of Trustees
After the interviews we’ll contact anyone we’d like to join the Board with an offer subject to references and checks.
If you accept, we’ll take up your references, do a DBS check and confirm your eligibility to act as a Trustee. If that’s all ok, you’re in! We’ll introduce you to the rest of the Trustees and get started with your induction.
Formal appointment happens at the next Board meeting which is on Thursday 5th August.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
